Excerpt from "Self Mastery Through Conscious Autosuggestion" by Emile Coue

"Suggestion, or rather Autosuggestion (or Affirmation), is quite a new subject, and yet at the same time it is as old as the world.

It is new in the sense that until now it has been wrongly studies and in consequence wrongly understood; it is old because it dates from the appearance of man on the earth.

In fact, affirmation is an instrument that we posses at birth, and in this instrument, or rather in this force, resides a marvelous and incalculable power, which according to circumstances produces the best or the worst results.

Knowledge of this force is useful to each one of us, especially to doctors, magistrates, and to those engaged in the work of education.

By knowing how to practice it consciously it is possible in the first place to avoid provoking in others bad affirmations which may have disastrous consequences; and secondary, consciously to provoke good ones instead, thus bringing physical health to the sick, and moral health to the neurotic and the unconscious victims of anterior affirmations, and to guide into the right path those who had a tendency to take the wrong one."

It's that amazing that this was published in 1922? What do you think? - Share your story…
